A house explosion in Carrollton, Texas, which injured one person, was caused by a gas leak into a sewer line, according to the city's fire chief. Fire and rescue teams responded promptly, extinguishing the fire and transporting one individual to the hospital, though their condition remains undisclosed.
Experts acknowledge that gas leaking into sewer lines is a recognized risk, often caused by cross bores where gas lines are mistakenly installed through existing utility lines. This becomes particularly hazardous during sewer pipe cleaning.Memphis Lifts Boil-Water Advisory After Cold-Weather Pipe Bursts
